Photos and Description of the Mystic vacation house rental
House, 5 Bedrooms + Detached Unit, 3.5+ Baths, (Sleeps 10-12)

Riverview Cottage is one of Mystic's finest waterfront locations. The house, boathouse, and barn are perched directly on the Mystic River. It includes 1.25 acres of quiet land with mature trees and is completely air conditioned. It is an ideal location for families who want a quiet refuge of kayaking and canoeing in close proximity to Mystic Seaport Museum, Mystic Aquarium, historic downtown Mystic, and the neighboring beaches of Rhode Island and the Mystic area. Riverview Cottage has a long, waterfront porch furnished with comfortable wicker and rockers as well as an even larger balcony above and a terrace adjoining the lower porch. The house is situated on a large tidal cove populated by osprey, herons, egrets, swans and ducks. A fragrant border of honeysuckle runs along the waterfront sometimes attracting hummingbirds when in bloom. It includes a full kitichen, well-stocked library and a comfortable studio-apartment over the detached garage. The property includes a large boathouse the owners use for storage.

Keywords: Waterfront, water sports, kayak, canoe, boat, bird watching.

About Owner/Manager

The house belongs to a local family that raised four children there. The family spent many years living and playing in this tranquil park-like setting.

Owner/Manager purchased this house in 1996
Why Owner/Manager chose Mystic

Mystic is between New York and Boston and an easy trip to Providence, Hartford and New Haven yet it offers superb access to beaches, boating, local seafood and world class museums and entertainment.

What makes this house unique

In addition to canoeing, kayaking and birdwatching, the location is a favorite because it is on a scenic road near nature trails just above downtown Mystic and located near the Mystic Aquarium, and Mystic Seaport. This is a historic home.

Great Weekend in Mystic

5 of 5
Submitted: March 28, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
I rented this house for a long weekend with a bunch of girlfriends and it was absolutely perfect. The house couldn't be in a more picturesque spot. The kitchen was great for cooking and hanging and the dining table fit everyone around it comfortably. The house sleeps a large group very well, and the 2 girls who slept on pull-out couches remarked that they were even more comfortable than their beds at home! Between being outside on the lawn or the beautiful porches and enjoying walking around the town of Mystic, the weekend couldn't have been better. Hoping to come back for a long weekend in the summer sometime!

About 20 minutes after arriving, we contacted the owners to see if we could book another weekend stay a few months later. The views of and access to the river are breathtaking, the house is large, clean, and very nice. There was plenty of room for two families, each with two kids. We'll certainly return.

Beautiful. Nice Family Reunion

5 of 5
Submitted: November 22, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
PLEASE read the review title. We had a WONDERFUL time here, and it was a spectacular home.

The rest of this is more "FYI" for people that intend to stay here:

* Contact the Owner about 2-3 weeks before arrival. We were NOT contacted in advance, until WE reached out. But everything worked out fine, after a bit of a panic the day before we all left our homes for a stay.
* there are NO GAMES for kids here... if you need to entertain kids... bring your own or iPads, or something for teens
* there is ONE television... see "NO GAMES" above... and it is in a smallish area. Not sure why you'd watch too much TV here... but if you want a "movie night" and you have filled the house to capacity, be prepared to have some people sit on the floor/be cramped

Overall, no issues. in fact, it was one of the best times / locations we have stayed at for our (all adult) family reunion. ENJOY, and DO NOT hesitate.

Owner's Response: Hi Frank! Thanks for your response. I always appreciate the feedback and want to take the time to apologize for any miscommunication we had leading up to your stay.

I always let my guests know that I will be in touch about a week before their stay but understand that some people would like information before that. If any questions arrise, or you would like information sooner than 1 week in advance, I encourage you to just send me a quick email and I'll get right back to you.

This is a lovely property in a really wonderful spot. The river is right in front of the porch. It gleams in the morning sun and hosts wondeful bird life - especially the Great Blue Herons. The rooms are tastefully decorated, the bathrooms are updated and clean, and there was plenty of space for our large group to spread out. The kitchen facilities are exceptional. The owner was very nice to work with as we planned out stay. I am absolutely planning to return!
